Leaden Heart 04:33
Intuition says walk away What possesses me to stay I dug you out of your black whole Then you ran away with all the gold I want to reach into your heart and make the sun rise I want to stare into your soul and tell you that I love you Your leaden heart grows darker everyday It's hard to watch your love fade away Steely eyes laced with fear My leaden heart is bleeding tear I want to reach into your heart and make the sun rise I want to stare into your soul and tell you that I love you The sea of change, reflection of bruised skies Tendrils of fog swept accross my eyes I want to reach into your heart and make the sun rise I want to stare into your soul and tell you that I love you

Black Moon 03:50
Black moon in a navy sky My tear drops seem to never dry They roll like shooting stars in an empty sky You say that you love me but I can see There's wonder in your eyes cast by The shadow of a black moon Black moon in the same old style My lips seem to never smile
My teeth like pearls in an oyster shell You say you'll stay with me but I can tell
That you'll run away Under the spell of a black moon Black moon in a dark, dark sky The clouds roll in and wave the stars goodbye You strike like lightening and like thunder I cry You say you'll never leave me but I can see
That your heart is no longer with me
3.
Just because I’m shorter than your sword 
And my voice is smaller than your scream 
I’ll still say the same thing 
I wont turn my back but I’ll turn the other cheek 
If you want the coat from off my back take everything to my feet 
I’ll still say the same thing Cos I’ve got nothing to lose But everything to gain 
I’ll still say the same thing That will never change Just because your dreams are louder than my actions And your change weighs more than my wallet I’ll still say the same thing If you push me an inch I’ll walk with you a mile 
If you want it all that badly I’ll give it with a smile 
I’ll still say the same thing Cos I’ve got nothing to lose But everything to gain 
I’ll still say the same thing That will never change Just because I love the silence sung in harmony 
I’ll still say the same thing 
If I fail to speak my truth in fear of losing you I’ll lose everything Cos I’ve got nothing to lose But everything to gain 
I’ll still say the same thing That will never change
4.
Sometimes life is hard sometimes life is full of sorrow Hard to face the day let alone tomorrow Tears may blind your way but you'll see some day That the light within never fades away Sometimes life is hard and dreams dissolve before you Blade of truth so sharp that the pain scores right through How to take the gift to find pain inside How to temper a sword let it be your guide What is light without darkness What is love without hate What is joy without saddness What is life without a mate Sometimes life is hard and you have no-one to turn to Never felt so alone all you need's someone to love you Then as if by chance your life turns around And the fresh air breaths through a strangers hand Sometimes life is hard, where's the silver in the lining In the eye of the storm hope is shining A little rain must fall then the sun breaks through When all is lost life surprises you.
5.
You came from no-where like rain in a desert
 Like a mirage at my thirsty lips you disappear
 Now I'm quenching your love so much that it hurts
 And the only rain to fall is a drop of a tear I'm a desert flower that needs water 
Rain on me if you want my love to grow Like rain in a desert you never stayed Like sand in my fingertips you slipped away
 As I look upon the clouds tonight for solace
 My lips the taste of tears ache for your kiss I'm a desert flower that needs water 
Rain on me if you want my love to grow If there's a doorway to hell it's your eyes I can tell
 As the moment I looked straight away I fell If hell has a monastery you'd be the friar
 As you held my body, mind and soul in a baptism of fire Like rain in a desert I longed for your return 
As I wait beneath the sun I begin to burn 
As I drown in quicksand my soul brakes free 
But my love for you shall never escape me I'm a desert flower that needs water 
Rain on me if you want my love to grow
